STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSNEW YORK - American Coco Gauff said she held no animosity toward the protesters who interrupted her U.S. Open semi-final match against Karolina Muchova on Thursday, though she did think their timing could have been a lot better.
After winning the first set and taking the opening game of the second, the match was halted when four protesters began shouting from the stands. "It was done in a peaceful way, so I can't get too mad at it," Gauff said."Obviously I don't want it to happen when I'm winning up 6-4 1-0, and I wanted the momentum to keep going.
The 19-year-old is no stranger to social activism, speaking out at a protest following the death of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man killed in police custody in the United States, three years ago.
